This criminal miscellaneous petition has been filed at the instance of the petitioners for restoration of Cr.M.P. No. 3211 of 2019 to its original file. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that Cr.M.P. No. 3211 of 2019 was dismissed for non-compliance of peremptory order of filing consolidated criminal miscellaneous petition. It is next submitted that as the pairvikar could not come for administering oath hence, the consolidated criminal miscellaneous petition could not be filed within the stipulated time and the same resulted in dismissal of Cr.M.P. No. 3211 of 2019. It is further submitted that the petitioners have very good grounds to agitate in this Cr.M.P. No. 3211 of 2019 and unless Cr.M.P. No. 3211 of 2019 is restored to its original file, the petitioners will be highly prejudiced. Hence, it is submitted that the Cr.M.P. No. 3211 of 2019 be restored to its original file. Learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 submits that the petitioners are deliberately delaying the matter and harassing the opposite party no.2 by lingering the same. Hence, the opposite party no.2 be adequately compensated with costs. Considering the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners, Cr.M.P. No. 3211 of 2019 is restored to its original file to the stage at which, it was before its dismissal subject to payment of costs of Rs.5,000/- by the petitioners to the opposite party no.2 through the counsel appearing in the record within six weeks, failing which, this conditional order shall not be given effect to and this criminal miscellaneous petition shall stand dismissed without further reference to the Bench. In case, the petitioners file the proof of payment of costs of Rs.5,000/- by the petitioners to the opposite party no.2 through the counsel appearing in the record within six weeks, list Cr.M.P. No. 3211 of 2019 under the appropriate heading after a week before the appropriate Bench. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) 17.04.2026 Gunjan-
